Hello MaterLizard! 

Hopefully you've had a chance to look at the How To Prepare information for the event.  I believe a link would have been sent to you after signing up.  Here's a copy just in case:
https://appleseedinfo.org/pdf/How%20to%20Prepare%20-%20Appleseed%20Pistol%20Clinic.pdf


I would call out these details from the link:
A quality, full-size, mid-size or compact pistol or revolver. We prefer centerfire, but rimfire is acceptable. It's fine to bring both. If you bring two pistols, make sure you have ammo for each.
• *Ammunition: 500 (2-day event) or 250 (1-day event) rounds of the same type & brand of ammo
unless the Shoot Boss contacts you and recommends you bring more.
• *At least two magazines, though we recommend bringing spares 


I'd note that .22LR pistols tend to get gunked up about when you're really wishing they wouldn't.  So if it was me, I'd bring both the Buckmark and the Canik with magazines and ammunition for each.  Start out with the Buckmark and maybe switch to the Canik after lunch or so.  Talk to the shoot boss at the event and see what they think about timing of that switch.

Learning to control recoil is an important part of marksmanship; and while 22LR is a great and inexpensive way to practice, the 9mm will help you learn recoil management.
If I knew the world was ending today, I would still plant another Appleseedling.

I'd actually lean towards the TX22 and the Canik as the Buckmark has a slightly different racking action than your Canik, but all three would do well on the line.  I also concur with Leadlined's thoughts.
